Investigation of the use of the CAMCOG in the visually impaired elderly

Validity of the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS) in post‐stroke subjects

“…The R-CAMCOG only takes around 10 minutes to complete and, in their study population, was as sensitive and specific as the CAMCOG. It has been suggested that visual acuity may have an effect on scoring in the CAMCOG (Hartman 2000). Formal assessment of visual acuity was not performed in our study.…”

Screening tools for the identification of dementia for adults with age-related acquired hearing or vision impairment: a scoping review

“…Most notably, several adaptations relied on item deletion (Reischies and Geiselmann, 1997;Hartman, 2000;Busse et al, 2002a;2002b;Wittich et al, 2010;Jefferis et al, 2012;Dupuis et al, 2015) which poses numerous potential confounds. First, deleting items obviously dependent on visual/auditory function (such as naming pictures, in the case of vision) may not eliminate bias, because there may be other items that are indirectly impacted by sensory impairment.…”

“…CAMCOG assesses orientation, language, memory, praxis, attention, abstract thinking, perception, and calculation. Hartman (2000) constructed a modified CAMCOG with visually-dependent items adapted (copying and drawing section modified with heavy font and wide nib pen) or deleted (but did not report which items were deleted) to give a maximum score of 70 (vs. 107 for standard CAMCOG). Non-cognitively-impaired adult participants (n = 42; based on case history and normal range MMSE score) with a range of VA levels completed the modified CAMCOG and standard CAMCOG.…”

Successful cognitive aging : memory, determinants and interventions

“…From a practical point of view, this study illustrates that cataract surgery, besides preventing blindness and increasing quality of life and functional status , also has important effects on cognitive performance, thereby providing an extra recommendation for this intervention. Moreover, results confirm that visual functioning can have significant consequences for neuropsychological test performance (Hartman, 2000; and considering the fact that senile cataract is one of the most frequent eye diseases in old age, visual status must therefore always be taken into consideration when interpreting neuropsychological test results.…”

“…According to aging researchers Rowe and Kahn one can clearly distinguish between a pathological aging and a non-pathological, or normal aging process. However, they also emphasize that the group of individuals who age normally is very heterogeneous and that even within the normal aging category a clear distinction should be made between a usual aging process and a successful aging process (Rowe & Kahn, 1987, 2000.…”
